Hot news: we are over 50 %!!! With almost 4k license tags converted in past 2 weeks. How it was possible?
First - it is because you rocks and really lots of work has been done. Both on our (Change owners) side and on you as package maintainers.
But the biggest impact was migration of texlive package. Texlive
is huge package and it has 6558 subpackages and 4010 License tags.
Texlive package was converted to SPDX format long time ago. But it
is not sufficient to use SPDX formula. The license has to be
approved for usage in Fedora too. I.e. SPDX IDs added to
fedora-license-data collection. It took some time and the licenses
ware review few days ago. This resulted in 3700 license tags being
suddenly marked as migrated. That is good, because it was result
of several months of work. There will be additional work because
there is still 339 tags that does not conform our guidelines and
one license has been found as not-allowed. Richard and Than is
working on it and I applaud to them.
I must highlight that we added 25 license to fedora-license-data in past 2 weeks. That is almost 2 licenses per day (including weekends). When you realize that it requires legal audit, comparing to existing licenses, diving into history, sometimes communicating with stewards of the licenses. Submitting them to SPDX where we discuss it and add markup that allow to have template for several similar licenses... This is simply amazing pace.
Can I ask for additional help? Robert-André packaged
scancode-toolkit for Fedora. This is license-check on steroids.
Very useful and powerful tool. But it has lots of dependencies.
Robert packaged them too. He "just" need reviewers to get this in
Fedora. If you can check "Depends on" of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2235055 and do review
of one of these dependecies that will be awesome.
Now lets dive into numbers:
Two weeks ago we had:
* 23143 spec files in Fedora
* 29600 license tags in all spec files
* 16169 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 5903 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 45.35% ░░░░██████ 100%
ELN subset:
603 out of 2986 packages are not converted yet
Today we have:
* 23100 spec files in Fedora
* 29479 license tags in all spec files
* 12870 tags have not been
converted to SPDX yet
* 5817 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 56.34% ░░░░░█████ 100%
ELN subset:
913
out of 3957 packages are not converted yet

New version of fedora-license-data has been released. With 25
new licenses (plus bunch of public domain declarations). 18
licenses are waiting to be review by SPDX.org (and then to be
added to fedora-license-data).
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
New projection when we will be finished is 2024-08-06. Pure
linear approximation.

Either pull-request or direct
email to me is fine.
Why Munich Agreement edition? On today's date [*] at 1938, four biggest European countries agreed that Germany can annex border parts of Czechoslovakia where ethnics German lived. It was done in hope that it will stop the low-intensity war and to keep the peace in Europe. But it was actually prelude to World War II.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement
[*] the pact was signed shortly after midnight, so some resources
use tomorrows date.
Do you hesitate how to proceed with the migration? Please follow
